Collabo

Collabo

Africa has long been the breeding ground for some of music’s most compelling and innovative new sounds—artists from Congo to Cape Town are well-versed in blending their rich cultural contexts with contemporary modes of expression. And some of the most exciting hits emerge from joint efforts that fuse the sounds of multiple cultures into fresh hybrids. Collabo celebrates Africa’s most dynamic cross-continental collaborations—from combos of Nigerian Afrobeats and South African amapiano to blends of Conogolese ndombolo and Tanzanian bongo flava and more. Our editors regularly update this playlist, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
